There is a good place in Raja Ampat that is suitable for birdwatchers. Its name is Waigeo island.

This afternoon I did some birding walk along the beach and parking area of the resort that was being constructed. I saw some interesting birds such as Pinon Imperial Pigeon, Palm Cockatoo, Eclectus Parrot, and Puff-backed Honeyeater, White-breasted Wood Swallow, Spangled Drongo, Brahminy Kite and etc.

I used my camera Canon 200D and telephoto lens 150--600 mm to take pictures of them. These tropical birds were beautiful.
Besides birdwatching, the coral reef along the coastal area of Waigeo is the natural habitat of a lot of species of fish including stonefish, wobbegong, butterflyfish, parrotfish, wrasse, catfish, clownfish and moorish idol.

If you are interested in birdwatching, snorkeling and scuba diving in Raja Ampat islands, I highly recommend that you stay in Waigeo. The island is suitable for birdwatchers, snorkelers, scuba divers, and beach lovers.
